It all began some years ago
in seventeen seventy six,
you fought to rule your precious land
with guns, cannons and picks.
You battled through 'Old Blighty's' might,
the sacrifice unkind,
respect is shown for them today
your nation they defined.
Right now in Scotland it's our time,
we demand our right to FREEDOM,
no blood-soaked soil for us to walk,
just a YES in the referendum.
Let's hope my people show true mettle
like our forefathers, Pict and Gael.
This Celtic courage deep inside
will ensure that we can't fail.
America enjoy your day,
celebrations in abundance,
and pray for us that come next year
we both have our Independence.
